(01. 45-31) Theinvention relates to a combinedpiece of furniture consisting of acabinet'case provided with an extension table, the body of the cabinetcase being fitted with swinging means to allow of its being turned, and,the inside of the cabinet being subdivided into compartments for thepurpose of containing objects of different kinds. The extensible tablehas the peculiar feature that its upper surface can be folded up intoone or more additional planes.

This improved piece of furniture differs from others of similar designin that it has the aforementionedswinging means which allow of using atthe same front part the various sections or compartments which it issubdivided in. At the same time the folding arrangement (which can alsoaffect the form of a slide-way) permits, on the one hand, multiplyingthe surface and uses of the upperplane part of the table, and on theother-hand, in view of the possibility of extending one or more of thetable folders todraw the said piece of furniture towards a bed, an armchair, or couch so as to render it handy and practical for reading,writing, for-having a 25. light meal or for other. similar usefulpurposes. The accompanying drawings show, by way of example, thecombined cabinet-case and extensible table constructed according to thisinvention. 1 v

Fig.1 shows a table of round or circular form the mainbody or element910 whereof rotates round an inner axle which in turn serves asconnection means between the fixed or'station ary parts or members ofthe table, that is the 35. upper part 11-12 and 1314 which acts as abase. The said rotary body is divided into three vertical compartments,as shown in Figure 2 which are designed in the present case to be usedrespectively for the telephone set, arm rack and 40V for containingbottles with liquids. The base or lower fixed part of the cabinet isprovided with a door K and serves to keep therein any object ofconvenient or handy use, and as regards the unfoldable cover arrangementshown 45. at L-M, Figure 3 represents a detailed example "of itsconstruction wherein can be appreciated the feature of a jointed arm Nwhich, allows of the supplementary lid or cover being placed in variouspositions more or less close to the main or central body of thefurniture.

" Fig. 4 is a front view of the cabinet showing the compartment for thetelephone apparatus open. Upon the upper platform is shown a lamp, as anornament of the ensemble and as an example of the many additional anduseful and net.

handy accommodations 'to which the cabinet can be applied.

The piece of furniture abovedescribed can further be utilized as a baseor support for shade lamps, or as a pedestal for objects of art, so that0 in any of these cases it can be converted into an advantageous articleof accommodation of a sightly appearance.

The cabinet can be constructed of-any suitable materials as may bedesired a'nd'withoutss limits as to its shape or dimensions, and, ofcourse its construction is in no way confined to the examplesherein-shown and described, consequently it can be made the, subject ofall such modifications as may come within the scope of the invention.Thus, the cabinet could be provided with one or more extensible boardsfitted to anypart of same. Again, the body part of the cabinet can bemade into two or more rotary partsso arranged that they may turn in anydirection, and, furthermore, the wholeof the cabinet can be so adaptedthat the rotating parts thereof be covered by means of some additionaldevice or housed into a suitable casing having two or more openings foraccess to the turning compartments of the cabi- Having now fullydescribed and ascertained the nature of my invention and the manner inwhich it can be carried out, I hereby claim the following.
